Product Overview
PL-380 and PL-480 are high-performance coal-based columnar activated carbons engineered for solvent recovery, organic gas purification, and catalytic support applications where adsorption capacity directly impacts process economics. With CTC activity exceeding 80%, these pellets deliver extensive micropore volume for capturing a broad spectrum of organic vapors including hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, and ketones.
Manufactured through precision extrusion of powdered bituminous coal followed by controlled high-temperature steam activation, the 3 mm PL-380 and 4 mm PL-480 combine high surface area with exceptional mechanical strength. The elevated CTC rating enables longer adsorption cycles in solvent recovery units, reducing steam consumption for regeneration and maximizing product recovery per pound of carbon.

Key application areas
- Solvent Recovery Systems — Adsorbs organic solvents from process air in printing, coating, and chemical manufacturing, enabling distillation and reuse with minimal carbon replacement.
- Oil & Gas Vapor Recovery — Captures hydrocarbon vapors from storage tank vents, loading racks, and pipeline operations, reducing product loss and emission violations.
- Catalytic Support & Gas Purification — Serves as a high-purity substrate for catalysts in petrochemical reforming and environmental oxidation systems, where uniform pellet geometry ensures consistent reactor performance.
- Organic Gas Treatment — Removes concentrated organic vapors from polymer processing, adhesive curing, and resin manufacturing exhaust streams.
- Chemical Process Gas Purification — Polishes feed gases and removes trace organics in synthetic chemical production, protecting sensitive catalysts and product quality.
Key Advantage
- High CTC for Recovery Economics: >80% CTC captures more solvent per cycle, directly improving recovery yields and reducing the frequency of energy-intensive regeneration.
- Dual Diameter Flexibility: 3 mm pellets optimize mass transfer in rapid-cycling units; 4 mm pellets maximize bed density and handling efficiency in large fixed-bed reactors.
- Regeneration-Ready Structure: >90% hardness and robust pore architecture withstand repeated steam reactivation with minimal attrition, supporting sustainable closed-loop operations.
- Coal-Based Supply Security: Bituminous coal sourcing ensures stable pricing and availability for continuous industrial consumers.
